IHOP Announces Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration

The breakfast chain IHOP announced on April 1 that they would be partnering with Sega to bring menu items themed around the Sonic the Hedgehog series to participating restaurants in the United States.

The collaboration consists of six new menu items, each of which is themed around a character from the series. The items are available to order today in all participating locations. Here’s the full Sonic the Hedgehog X IHOP menu:

  • Sonic’s Blue Blur Special: Four buttermilk pancakes with double the blueberries for double the speed! Ask to try them with blueberry syrup.
  • Knuckles’ Chicken Sandwich: A crispy chicken sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, & buttermilk ranch that won’t leave you hangry. Order with a side of “gold” onion rings.
  • Tails’ 2x2x2: Two eggs, two pancakes, two bacon strips or two sausage links – just like Tails, everything good comes in twos.
  • Shadow’s Chaos Chocolate Pancakes: Go ahead and be a little chaotic – a four-stack filled with chocolate chips is the ultimate pancake experience.
  • Amy’s Sweet Strawberry Delight: Vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and fresh strawberries atop a golden-brown waffle quarter is a perfectly sweet dessert for an epic adventure. Ask to try with strawberry syrup.
  • Dr. Eggman’s Benedict: A 300 IQ genius like Eggman knows that black forest ham, poached eggs, & creamy hollandaise sauce makes for a superior meal.

A press release for the menu also revealed that IHOP loyalty members can exchange PanCoins, IHOP’s own crypto-pancake currency, for Sonic the Hedgehog-themed rewards, including full game download codes for Sonic SuperstarsSonic Frontiers, and Sonic Origins.

An exclusive DLC for Sonic Superstars containing a costume for Amy is also available in the IHOP Stack Market, meaning completionists will need to bypass a pancake paywall if they want every outfit.

There has been no official announcement of when the event will end, but Sonic the Hedgehog-themed gift cards will be available until May 5, so it will likely last at least until then.
